2. Bioelectrical impedance analysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioelectrical_impedance...

   Bioelectrical impedance analysis. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a method for estimating body composition, in particular body fat and muscle mass, where a weak electric current flows through the body, and the voltage is measured in order to calculate impedance (resistance and reactance) of the body. Most body water is stored in muscle.

3. Body fat percentage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_fat_percentage

   However, its accuracy declines at the extremes of body fat percentages, tending to slightly understate the percent body fat in overweight and obese persons (by 1.68–2.94% depending on the method of calculation), and to overstate to a much larger degree the percent body fat in very lean subjects (by an average of 6.8%, with up to a 13% ...

4. Body roundness index - Wikipedia

   By comparison with BMI, BRI quantifies body girth in relation to height, potentially providing more accurate estimates of fat mass. BRI scores range from 1 to 16, with most people between 1 and 10, although people with scores of 6.9 and up – indicating wider, rounder bodies – were found to have a risk of all-cause mortality that was ...

   BRI is a new way to measure body fat and the fat around your organs that is based on waist circumference and height, and is used to describe a person’s body shape, says Melissa Prest, D.C.N., R ...

6. Hydrostatic weighing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatic_weighing

   Hydrostatic weighing. Hydrostatic weighing, also referred to as underwater weighing, hydrostatic body composition analysis and hydrodensitometry, is a technique for measuring the density of a living person's body. It is a direct application of Archimedes' principle, that an object displaces its own volume of water.

7. BMI vs. Body Fat: What's More Important? - AOL

   Body fat percentage is a measure of how much body fat you have in relation to your overall weight. It can be more accurate than BMI at assessing whether someone has a healthy weight and whether ...
